You don’t really get what you pay for with FTTC, they all rely on BT infrastructure at the end of the day and it’s the only bit that tends to go wrong.
Zen are the best when it comes to support but I’ve had broadband for years and never had a problem with the line, I just don’t see it as worth paying for of you don’t use it.
I just get the cheapest now which tends to be Plusnet or Talk Talk.
They all rely on OpenReach infrastructure, it’s what happens after your data leaves that infrastructure that things are generally different.
I suspect performance varies a lot during busy times between ISPs. They still have to be able to handle high volumes of traffic their end. I've found ZEN very good,including in assisting performance problems twice this year (both times BT fault). Used them for years now.I don’t disagree but there is little measurable difference between any FTTC ISPs other than support. The chances of you needing that support are very slim which leaves price.

Used to get 39500 lucky if it over 30000 now days. If I swap to Zen do you get a cooling off period? My sky page l package is going up from 60 to 95 next month and I don't want the TV anymore. So good time to switch
No recent evidence and the last time I had issues was back in 2006 with Virgin broadband.Got any evidence of this? As the above poster said ISP capacity isn't really an issue these days.
I have been on BT, Plusnet and Talk Talk all in the same property and I noticed no difference terms of the internet service even at peek times. It's all about how good your phone line is in terms of quality and reliability, none of which are in the control of the ISP or you.
Ran a speed test on my 4g phone and get 85/55 way faster than my fixed fibre line.
Is 4g a viable option? Would work out a lot cheaper for me, but what about gaming?
3 times the speed of my sky fibre.... and £21 pm its a no brainer, right or am misssing something? Is it truly unlimited?
